They will be responsible for beefing up the technology roadmap and international expansion of the startup.

“My role would be to sum up the technology road map. We have had different road map, the idea now is to make them into one cohesive road map,“ said Krishnan, who has worked with medical technology company Siemens Healthineers (formerly Siemens Healthcare).

Sharma, on the other hand, will be responsible for the product cycle management with the Bengaluru-based startup, which is backed by Accel Partners, IDG Ventures and Asian Health Fund.

“There is also a possibility of doing something on the international front when it comes to sales relationship in some regions that I have worked in,“ said Sharma, who has worked across Asia, the US and Europe, in companies such as medical device company Medtronic and manufacturing company Danaher Corporation.

Bengaluru-based Forus Health, founded in 2010, recently established its first wholly owned subsidiary in San Leandro, California.

“The next step is not only to focus on India, but also international, and ensure that whatever we are making is useful from a global perspective,“ said K Chandrasekhar, CEO, Forus Health.
